Great importance is attached to the appearance of the children and their standard of dress. It is a requirement that the children attending Goldington Academy wear school uniform and we ask for parents support in ensuring that the uniform is worn smartly and with pride.
-
Girls may choose to wear either plain, tailored dark grey trousers or the grey tartan skirt, which is only available from the school shop.
-
The uniform code requires boys (and girls if they choose to wear trousers rather than the approved school skirt) to wear plain, tailored dark grey trousers.
For new pupils we have samples in school for pupils to try for size, before you place an online order for uniform. This is highly recommended as postage is payable on returns.
Please ensure all clothing and belongings are clearly marked with your child’s full name, using name tapes or indelible pen.

Trousers with decorative items (buttons, embroidery, stretch, lycra, skinny, cargo or jeans style) are NOT permitted.
